My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Benji!



Benji – the 18-pound heart thief you didn’t know you needed.



 



This little guy doesn’t just love… he loves with all of his thumper.



Benji is about a year old and packed full of playful energy, affection, and just enough sass to keep life interesting.



 



He’s the tug-of-war champion, and professional snuggler after he’s played himself into a nap. He’s great on a leash, completely potty trained, and doesn’t chew your stuff — unless your stuff is a squeaky toy, then all bets are off. 



Benji is picky about his crowd — no big dogs or cats for this guy — but he LOVES other small dogs and all humans willing to give him snacks, scratches, or a warm lap. He will absolutely steal your covers and your heart.



 



If you’re looking for a small dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Benji’s your guy. Just be prepared… you’ll never sleep with the covers again.



 



About Benji:



 




  • 1 year old

  • Neutered

  • Heartworm negative

  • Fully vaccinated

  • Housebroken

  • Sleeps like an angel in his kennel

  • Always a step behind you—your shadow in dog form

  • Mouthy when playing, but we’re working on manners. He's playing and. It being aggressive. 

  • Cuddle-tested, nap-approved

  • - older children would be best since he's still a puppy. 



Is he Hypoallergenic? 
We haven't noticed any shedding  



How big will he get? He's full grown and 18lbs  



 



Training? He would do great as a couch potato or long walks and dinner   



 



He’s looking for a home that will love his snuggles as much as he loves giving them. A home that will give him lots of exercise and let him play with all the toys!



 



What's included in his adoption fee? 



His adoption fee is $350 and includes each animal being current on age appropriate vaccinations including DHPPL, bordetella, influenza, rabies, and boosters when appropriate. De-wormed for any internal parasites (round worms, hook worms, tape worms and whipworms), spayed/neutered and micro-chipped. Each of our dogs also receive flea and heartworm medication every month.



 



We look to place our dogs in homes where they are loved, allowed on furniture and treated like family so please do not apply if you are looking for an "outside dog" or if you have any dogs who live outside only. He’s a young guy so for the safety of all involved, we want you to consider this when applying to adopt. If you're looking for a dog who will keep you warm at night or snuggled by your side while watching TV, one who will enjoy playing in the yard, or one who’ll enjoy going and doing whatever the day finds, this may be the guy for you. Benji's wish list consists of an inside forever home. A home with lots of toys and pet parents who understand the time commitment that a new puppy requires. We’d like to see Benji have a fenced in yard to be able to roam and play, but that’s not a deal breaker. 



 



If you think you have the perfect home for Benji and have questions, please contact us at HootiesHaven@yahoo.com We do out of state adoptions, but require you to come here and meet the pup if you are approved to adopt. Please feel free to ask for more details. We work hard to place our fosters in the very best homes. Please be aware that we have a lengthy application. Our application weeds out those who are not serious about adopting. When filling out the application, please be sure to include as much information and be as detailed as possible- your explanation could be what sets your application aside from the rest.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

An Adoption Application is completed which includes current pets and veterinarians. Veterinarians are contacted to verify that current pets are up-to-date on vaccinations and heart prevention. A visit to the property to confirm fencing is made or a search on Google Earth is conducted to confirm the fencing. Any current pets in the home are introduced to the potentially adopted pet to insure they all are behaviorally compatible.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We hold adoption events at our closest Petsmart location, as well as meet and greets by appointment. We also participate in festivals, parades, and other public events to bring awareness to the public about our available pets, and the importance of spaying and neutering.

More about this rescue

We are a licensed 501c3 animal rescue in NW Georgia. We serve our communities by accepting owner surrenders from owners who for whatever reason, are no longer able to care for their pets. We also assist our communities by taking in dogs from animal control facilities who might otherwise be euthanized. All pets coming into our rescue are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested. If needed we also provide heartworm treatment and recovery time.
